  <div id="gallery-info"><h1>Knee Pageant</h1><p>The Slap My Top Knees Gallery is now open for business. Please come in and have a look around.
<br />Email your knees to <a href="mailto:alex.lester@bbc.co.uk">alex.lester@bbc.co.uk</a> with their greatest achievements and their hopes for the future.
<br />It's a bit like a beauty pageant...... but with knees! Unfortunately, we can't guarantee to put every set of knees we receive on the website and we can only publish pictures of your knees if you are aged 18 or older.</p></div>
